[Factor structure of multidimensional personality inventories MMPI, 16-PF, FPI and GT].

Results on factoranalyses over MMPI-, 16-PF-, FPI-, and GT-scales are presented. The FPI (Freiburg Personality Inventory) revealed to measure neurotic complaints, lamentation, extra- vs introversion, candidness vs lie-tendency, and emotional stability vs instability. The GT (Giessen-Test) alone measures a special psychosocial, the MMPI likewise an unspecific psychoticism dimension. The desideratum remains to create a clinically more differentiating instrument on item basis.
